"What did my father say? The ancestor has always cared for his son, and this will make the ancestor and her old man pass away, and the son is naturally very sad. The prince heard the sarcasm in Emperor Li's tone, and knew that he had acted too much, so he immediately burst into tears and said: "Erchen is just grateful for the love of the ancestors for Erchen, and he couldn't help crying like this for a while." ”

"It's a good thing that you have filial piety, but you still have to distinguish between true and false." Hearing this, Emperor Li snorted coldly, and the dissatisfaction in his tone had not yet dissipated.

Now that most of his power has been lost, there are not many people available in the court, and the only thing that can still be relied on is the guilt of the father and the emperor towards the queen mother as a talisman. ”

"Well, as the crown prince, you have to lead by example, and you should set an example for the world, and you must not exceed the rules." Emperor Li glanced at the crown prince and King Shou meaningfully, and said in a low voice, "Why can't you take the lead in destroying the ancestral system in these last few days." ”

"Erchen understands."

seemed to be very satisfied with the prince's attitude, and Emperor Li did not scold the prince too much. After giving the Empress Dowager three pillars of incense, she left the Hall of Filial Piety.

In Xie's house, Wei Xuan knew Xie Yaoguang's feelings for the Empress Dowager, and in order to prevent Xie Yaoguang from being depressed, it was not good for his health. Wei Xuan deliberately lived in Xie's house temporarily, so that Xie Yaoguang could fulfill the filial piety of the twenty-seven days in the family to express his sorrows.

In these twenty-seven days, Xie Yaoguang was courteous and obeyed the etiquette system, so Wei Xuan had to take great pains to carefully adjust his ideals and try his best to put some nourishing herbs in the white porridge for Xie Yaoguang to eat, so that she could survive the twenty-seven days of filial piety. During the filial piety ceremony, Suzaku and the others did not dare to relax for a moment, lest Xie Yaoguang have any mistakes, and all the big and small affairs in the house were handled by Zhuo Jing and Qingluan.

And Jingzhong is also calm, probably because the big people are trapped in the imperial city, in order to prevent any mistakes on such days. All parts of the capital are heavily guarded, there are no markets during the day, and there is still a curfew at dusk. It also spent the twenty-seventh day of filial piety peacefully.

It was not until the end of filial piety on the 27th that Suzaku and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and Wei Xuan made sure that Xie Yaoguang was okay after checking Xie Yaoguang's pulse before leaving Xie's house. These twenty-seven days are really thrilling for the people of Xie Zhai.

On the 27th, after the filial piety ceremony, the Empress Dowager rose to the funeral. The empress dowager, who has gone through three dynasties, has passed away after all, and she will finally be able to meet the deceased Emperor Guangwu.

The coffin guard of honor went to Danfeng Gate to enter and exit the Vermilion Bird Avenue, and the people on the way of the guard of honor fell to the ground and wept, with sad faces. The funeral procession was mighty, and the coffin of the Empress Dowager moved slowly like a mountain of silver on the ground, and all the way I saw paper money flying.

The empress dowager has been virtuous and upright since the reign of Emperor Guangwu, and has repeatedly advised Emperor Guangwu to listen to more advice. In order to alleviate the expenses of the imperial court, he personally ordered the opening of the palace door to send the elderly palace maids and voluntary palace maids out of the palace and return home, recalling that everything done by the empress dowager in the past was beneficial to the people, so it won the love of many people.

In the imperial capital, only mourning music was heard. Temples and Taoist temples all over the capital rang the bell 30,000 pestles to send the Empress Dowager to sleep.

Before dawn, Xie Yaoguang left Xie's house and rushed to Lanxing Tower. She stood at the highest place of the Moon and Star Tower, watching the coffin of the Empress Dowager kneel on the ground and kowtow three times. Grandma, don't worry, if you have the opportunity in the future, you will personally go to your soul to make amends to you.

Xie Yaoguang slowly got up and walked to the desk and knelt on the ground, plucked the strings lightly and whispered: "Shallot on the dew, He Yixi." Luxi Ming Dynasty is more falling, when will people return when they die"

After keeping the filial piety ceremony, Emperor Li restored the dynasty. Although a lot of government affairs were delayed during the filial piety ceremony on the 27th, fortunately, the public order in the imperial capital was good during the 27th day, and no one made a case of committing a traitor. Many keen ministers thought of the various performances of the king during the period of filial piety, and sensed that another gust of wind was about to blow in the court.

Not long after the restoration of the dynasty, Emperor Li made a big fire in the court, and the people who were originally the Yushitai participated in the prince and the king of Shou at the same time, saying that the prince and the king of Shou had gone to the side hall to drink and have fun during the period of the queen mother's filial piety, and it was unfilial piety to violate the ancestral system.

The fold was just handed to Emperor Li, and after a cursory glance, he was naturally furious, thinking of the performance of the prince in the palace of filial piety that day, and Emperor Li ordered the prince to be grounded in the East Palace to meditate, and punished the longevity of Wang Yulu for half a year, and he was also grounded in the mansion to calm down his anger a little. Only Ye Linchen, who was courteous in the filial piety room, was praised by Emperor Li again, and at the same time rewarded him with two South China Sea red shan, a thousand taels of gold, and a pair of jade Ruyi.

Finally encountered the scattered dynasty, and these nobles who had been confined in the imperial city for many days were finally able to go home to have a good meal and a good night's sleep.

After leaving the main hall, King Shou hurriedly followed Ye Linchen, who was not far from the front, and stopped him, and said with a look of chagrin: "Or Linchen, you are smarter, unlike the imperial brother, I actually went with the prince that day, but now I am better to be affected by the prince." Alas...... I'm so sorry for my grandmother's love for me. King Shou said and hooked Ye Linchen's shoulder, showing a look of brotherly affection, "I asked your sister-in-law to prepare some home-cooked side dishes in the mansion today, Linchen, if you are free, you might as well enjoy your face." After all, you and I are brothers, and it seems that we haven't been together like this for a long time. ”

In these scenes, King Shou has always been good at it, and only he can use such words to make the emperor happy.

Ye Linchen took a step back when he heard this: "Thank you for your kindness, it's just that a lot of military affairs have been delayed during the filial piety ceremony and I still need to deal with it." I'm afraid I'm going to give the royal brother some kindness. ”

"It's a pity, but there's no hurry, if you're free, send someone to my ward. You and my brother have a small get-together, it doesn't matter. "Knowing that Ye Linchen's temperament is still the same as before, it will not be good if he is impatient. After saying that, King Shou smiled and patted Ye Linchen's shoulder, and turned away with regret.

Ye Linchen looked at the back of King Shou leaving, and couldn't help but exhale a breath of turbidity, and patted his shoulder with disgust.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" Xia Fu, who was passing by, saw Ye Linchen looking curiously in the direction where King Shou left, but he couldn't see the reason, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "But what is the other thing?" ”

Hearing this, Ye Linchen withdrew his gaze and looked at Xia Fu beside him, and said slowly: "It's nothing, I just saw a poisonous snake." I didn't expect there to be such a large poisonous snake in the kilometer. ”

"What? Then Your Highness, are you all right? Xia Fu, who didn't taste the meaning of Ye Linchen's words, looked around in horror, he couldn't imagine that there would be poisonous snakes in this palace.
